The trees in background are hiding killingbeck hospital. Cephos powders were used as a cure for influenza and were reliable cold cure.

Iwent to wykebeck infants and junior school,and the whole class used to catch this tram to york road baths for swimming lessons and when boarding the tram everyone stood on the foot bell that the driver used as a horn,to the delight of the driver and conductor.
